> When an entire region is down what I have noticed is that all things are fucked globally on aws. Do you have an example on this?

  Just grabbed first article. Example: In this case capitalone went down. I don’t work at capitalone - but I imagine they had their data copied across every region 30 times. https://www.geekwire.com/2018/widespread-outage-amazon-web-services-u-s-east-region-takes-alexa-atlassian-developer-tools/ https://www.geekwire.com/2018/widespread-outage-amazon-web-s...

    I think you're much too optimistic about capitalone. They probably had a single point of failure, possibly one they didn't realize they had.

      CapitalOne is one of the few financial markets firms with open source cloud projects on github. I respect their tech org for that.

  On 17 October, there was a multi-AZ network failure at us-east-1. It only lasted 3m35s, but it was enough that our customers were calling about our site being down.

    That's still just one region, unless you were also hosted outside us-east-1.
